Acclaimed by the New York Times as having “intensity and sheer beauty of sound” and in another review, “created a cohesively and beautifully polished sound”, these young musicians have some roots in Baltimore.

In 2010, Concertante is opening up their performances to the public and they will be free. Sharing their renowned musical artistry with the public and with Bolton Street members is one of their primary goals and so you are most welcome to attend any of the above listed events.

Each concert will be followed by a reception, so we’d like to have you call (410) 580-0399 or e-mail mawentz@concertante.org at least three days before coming to any of the concerts, just to tell us how many people you are bringing. We don’t want to run out of food and drink.

CAN IT HAPPEN HERE? IT JUST DID.

On Thursday, January 21st at 7pm, Bolton Street Synagogue hosted Paul Tough, a New York Times Magazine editor and author of "Whatever it Takes". Mr. Tough told the story of Geoffrey Canada, the founder of the Harlem Children's Zone to a packed audience of over 400 from the Baltimore community.

The Harlem Children’s Zone is an audacious attempt to provide 24/7 support services to the parents and children in Harlem who are struggling to better their lives, often against great odds.

Through the combined interfaith efforts of the Greater Homewood Interfaith Alliance, the Cathedral of the Incarnation and Bolton Street Synagogue the success of The Harlem Children’s Zone and the impact it had on that community was examined, and how it could be replicated here in Baltimore was discussed.

Certain types of small electronic devices: cell phones, digital cameras, GPS devices, iPod/MP3 players, and PDAs
Laptop computers
